Yeah it started last night but it was a dusting (or as I called it "the pregame") and then it started up again at about noon and has been going hardcore with winds since then.

Jen I was a little surprised at that part too, but I guess they don't want to mess around. Unfortunately there are people who don't like staying in and will just drive around to look at the snow or watch the water crash into the rocks/walls along the ocean. And then they get in an accident or whatever and have to be rescued all because they didn't want to listen. So it makes sense!
